Represent the Guild at District 2 The 75th IATSE District 2 Convention is going to Hawai‘i! District 2 represents 45,000 members across 49 local unions in Arizona, Califor- nia, Nevada and Hawai‘i, and those Locals will convene in Honolulu, Hawai‘i this June from the 7th through the 9th. Every year, our union sends representatives to the District 2 Convention to play an active part in crafting policy and making decisions to protect IA workers and im- prove working conditions in our industries. Are you interested in being a Delegate for the Animation Guild at the convention this year? Though the convention takes place in Honolulu, it’s not all fun and sun – Delegates are there to work on issues important to workers in the entertainment industry. Representatives of the Animation Guild will have a chance to learn more about how Local 839 and the IATSE work, meet union members from other Locals and the IA’s offi ces, join commit- tees, take part in discussions and vote on amendments and recommenda- tions that will affect this Local and others in District 2.

(continued from page 1) Delegates, and any other active member in good standing (no fees owed, dues fully paid up) is eligible to be elected. If you’re interested in representing the Guild, here are some things to know: Travel will take time away from work; think about whether you can take time off . It’s NOT a vacation – you’ll be signing into work and meeting sessions and travel and accommodation reimbursement is contingent on attendance and participation. You’ll be assigned to at least one committee and expected to take part in discussion and voting. Don’t volunteer if you’re not up to do the work . but if you are, then we can guarantee you some fun, too! If you are ready to join others who want to make a diff erence and play an active part in planning, problem solving and decision making, then read on to fi nd out how to make it happen. Elections for Delegates to the District 2 Convention will be held at the General Membership Meeting on March 26, 2019. You can nomi- nate yourself or someone else, or get a fellow member to nominate you. And if you can’t make it to the meeting that night, send an e-mail ahead of time to me, your Local 839 Recording Secretary, at paula.spence@ tag839.org to let me know you’re interested – I’ll make sure your name is added to the slate of nominees at the GMM. We’ll talk about more details, including the Guild’s reimbursement policies, at the meeting, so join us then and consider volunteering to make something happen! – Paula Spence, Pegboard Editor 3 ONCE YOU’VE MADE THE JOURNEY, YOU’RE JOURNEY If you look for your wage minimum in one of our Animation Guild contracts, you would see an entry much like this: Weekly Employment (40-hour weekly guarantee) 21-027 Production Board Hourly Weekly 1st 6 months $52.72 $2108.80 2nd 6 months $53.91 $2156.40 Journey $55.93 $2237.20 *Minimum Scale for Daily Employees shall be 117.719% (which rate is inclusive of vacation and holiday pay) of the minimum basic hourly rate provided herein for such employee’s classifi cation. And besides that, there’s not a lot of explanation. Some of it seems self-explanatory: “1st 6 months,” for example. But then there’s that word “Journey.” It harkens back to the original medieval guilds, their ap- prenticeship and journeyman status, but what does it mean for us today? When do we become Journeypeople? Once we reach journey level, do we ever revert to a lower level? Although the word “Journey” is not explicitly defi ned in our contract, where one fi nds its description there is little variation. For example, it “applies to a person who has completed an apprentice program in a craft.” They are “an experienced worker, not a trainee.” They are “con- sidered competent and authorized to work in that fi eld as a fully qualifi ed employee” and are “fully qualifi ed to complete a job without supervi- sion.” 4 That tells us some of what we need to know, specifi cally: • Being a Trainee or Apprentice means you are in a learning environment and actively being trained by a mentor or journey level artist in the same classifi cation, and not left alone to complete work identical to journey level artists without supervision. • Once you reach a time milestone – including journey level – in a job category, you don’t go back to a lower level in that category, even if you change studios. If you’ve worked at journey level in a non-assisting role within a clas- sifi cation, an employer can’t off er you a time-limited role (1st 6 months, 2nd 6 months) as an assistant within that classifi cation. If you’ve worked as a journey level artist, you could accept a role in an Assistant clas- sifi cation, but the rate of pay would need to be no less than the journey level rate of pay for that Assistant classifi cation. And, as an Assistant you would actually have to be assisting someone in an appropriate role. Most importantly, nothing prevents a studio from hiring you at the Journey level immediately, regardless of your training or prior work experience. Your employer can always choose to pay you at the Journey rate, even if you switch from one classifi cation to another within the Guild. Many of our crafts utilize similar skills. Your schooling and years of attending fi gure drawing sessions or writ- ing workshops all played a part in preparing you for work in the anima- tion industry. You have a lifetime of building up and honing your creative skills. But it’s actual professional work experience (union or non-union) that moves you up through the levels of classifi cation in our contracts with employers. That slate is not wiped clean just because you start a new job or move to a diff erent studio. When you’re off ered a job, be your own best advocate. Remember that you can always try to negotiate for a rate higher than the journey level minimum. Call the Guild Offi ce at 818-845-7500 or e-mail [email protected] if you have questions. And as Lao Tzu famously said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” But you’re not on Step #1, are you? In Solidarity, KC Johnson 5 OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH: Skills Training, Leadership Development and Outreach Do you want to learn something new, or deepen your knowledge in an area? Are you looking for an opportunity to grow as a leader? Are you in- terested in sharing your knowledge and experiences with students, to help lift up the next generation?

Disney.com/Terabithia BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA PRODUCTION NOTES “Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.” PRODUCTION NOTES —Leslie Deep in the woods, far beyond the road, across a stream, lies a secret world only two people on Earth know about—a world brimming with fantastical creatures, glittering palaces and magical forests. This is Terabithia, where two young friends will discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever through the power of the imagination. From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and based on one of the most beloved novels of all time, comes an adventurous and moving tale that explores the wonders of friendship, family and fantasy: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story begins with Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON), a young outsider on a quest to become the fastest kid in his school. But when the new girl in town, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB), leaves Jess and everyone else in her dust, Jess’s frustration with her ultimately leads to them becoming fast friends. At first, it seems Jess and Leslie couldn’t be more different—she’s rich, he’s poor, she’s from the city, he’s from the country—but when Leslie begins to open up the world of imagination to Jess, they find they have something amazing to share: the kingdom of Terabithia, a realm of giants, ogres and other enchanted beings that can only be accessed by boldly swinging across a stream in the woods on a strand of rope.

  • Transformations in the Composition of American Jewish Households
    Sylvia Barack Fishman Transformations in the Composition of American Jewish Households Introduction: Diverse Reasons for Common Behaviors Jewish societies around the world have certain commonalities, but also differ from each other in significant ways. Indeed, Jews who travel are often struck by attitudes, behaviors, and life circumstances among Jews in other countries that seem quite different from their own. This is true even when statistical “bottom lines” appear similar. Thus, although demographer Sergio Della Pergola documents that rising rates of intermarriage are observable to varying extents in Jewish communities worldwide,1 recent research shows that the reasons for intermarriage and the reactions to it can differ dramatically from place to place.2 From a public policy standpoint, it is important to recognize and analyze these differences. Effective strategies for dealing with intermarriage must be responsive not only to the fact that it occurs, but even more so to the circumstances that generate it. Endogamy and Exogamy Both Influenced by Wider Culture What are the specific contexts of contemporary intermarriage in the United States, and possible policy responses? As demonstrated by both the 1990 and 2000– 2001 National Jewish Population Surveys (NJPS), respectively conducted by the Council of Jewish Federations (CJF) and the United Jewish Communities (UJC), about half of recent marriages involving a Jew are marriages between a Jew and a non-Jew, which means that about one-third of recently married American Jews have married non-Jews.3 Although those concerned with Jewish cultural continuity often regard rising intermarriage rates as a specifically Jewish phenomenon, contemporary American Jewish attitudes, values, and behaviors clearly reveal the broader cultural influence.
